Notes

2004-10-30 - Status Note: There 1988. -Database Manager

2004-10-30 - Retored 1987 by Culver L. Mowers. Altered. -Database Manager

2006-11-17 - Updated through on-line information from James R. Stettner. -Database Manager

2008-02-19 - Updated through on-line information from Stephen Best. -- As of February 2008, the organ still exists but is unplayable due to the blower's having been disconnected from the instrument. The ceiling has been lowered, leading to some of the casework having been removed. Church members are presently deciding whether to retain the instrument or sell it. -Database Manager

2011-08-27 - Updated through online information from Stephen Best. -- Removed by Culver Mowers; presently in storage and available for relocation. -Database Manager

2015-04-19 - Updated through online information from Scot Huntington. -- Correction and additions to an earlier entry. This organ was installed in 1893-94 into a new building which replaced an older building that burned in 1890, presumably taking with it a one-manual purchased from George N. Andrews, Utica, in 1867. The Morey organ was a rebuild of an older instrument, many construction details suggesting the work of Geo. Jardine & Son circa the 1860s. <br>The Mowers restoration included the reinstatement of the long-missing set of original Trumpet pipes with new pipes replicating a 19th-century reed--the knob had been used to control a later Tremolo itself removed in 1987. -Database Manager
